I am nerdy enough that there's no need to detail all the little individual ways in which I am a nerd. I just am.

Heh.  Hi.  I'm wadingmoose and I'm a nerd.  I play WoW pretty exclusively right now mainly because I'm trying to limit my nerd time outside of the office.I used to play Sims, and I love the Raving Rabbids games for the Wii.  Wii Sports too.

bintmejnuna

Big nerd here. I love Patapon on the PSP. FI and I also play board games all the time like Settlers of Catan.

lpstl

I'm offended, the correct term is geek.

buttaflai

That sounds more like "dork" and not so much "nerd" to me.

jasmineh7777

I play the first Zelda, Kirby, Duck Hunt, Mario 1-3, and Little Nemo on my NEX. I also have started playing Luigi's Mansion with one of my little ones.

buttaflai

Ahhh, lpstl, you might be more accurate.

Stackeye210

Mr Stack and I beat Halo together.  I found it to be the highlight of my month when we did that.

karenttrouble

I play internet Settlers of Catan

kikibaby

I play the Sims on the 'puter sometimes, and I play Rock Band all the time on the PS3.  We have a Wii that we hardly ever use, but when I do, I love this stupid game on there that I can't remember the name of- you shoot little creatures with a zapper.  I love computer puzzle games, though.  I also like just puzzles in general.

Bint- What do you think of Settlers? I was thinking about buying it for FI for Christmas.

wadingmoose

That sounds more like "dork" and not so much "nerd" to me.Yeah.  I typically prefer not to be called a whale's peen.

lpstl

Actually buttaflai has a point. Are we talking about people who have shirts with smartazz comments in binary (geek) or people who play dance dance revolution (dork). HUGE difference.

ScarletGem

What is this talk of internet Settlers?!?  Is it the same as the boardgame?  We play Civ IV and League of Legends on PC and Castle Crashers on the XBox.  DH plays a lot of other games, but those are really the only ones we play together these days.  We also play countless board games and card games...  Settlers of Catan, Arkham Horror, Killer Bunnies, Fluxx, some classics like Trivial Pursuit and Sequence... 

wadingmoose

I love how even geeks need to categorize themselves.

ScarletGem

See, dork has more of a negative connotation to me.  I'm proud to be a nerd or a geek, but I hate when people call me a dork.  I would agree, though, with lpstl's assessment of the difference.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

I don't have the time/inclination to get into a ton of games. But we have a PS3. It seems to mostly function as a DVD/Blue-Ray player.I do like Little Big Planet. And Sid Caesar's Civilization. And NHL '09. And of course guitar hero/rock band. We have 2 guitars, the microphone and the drums.

vallyhoo

Of course the BEAVER doesn't want to be called a whale's peen.

arbolita

We used to play CoH/CoV,  and now he occasionally plays Champions Online

I really wish they would make sims 3 for the wii or something, I dont want to play it on the computer. I really only like sims for the house building and decorating though, playing the actual game bores me. Im more of a comic book nerd, than a video game nerd though, to be honest.

missy68

Classic moment (I'll let you classify it): my cousin turns to me while we're watching one of the Star Wars movies and says, "So, which one of the bounty hunters is your favorites? Mine's Boba Fett."I just stared at him and said, "are you kidding me?"There's about a 15 year age difference between us, but we get along pretty well.

lannerjarv

nerd dork and geek are all very similar in my vocab.please tell me your definitions of each!!

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

Nebb, I also want Sims for my PS3. My computer sucks at all thing gaming.

bintmejnuna

jasmineh-- I love Settlers! We've had so many awesome game nights with that game. i think it's better with more people tho. Carcasonne is pretty good too. I need to check out this internet Settlers thing...I hadn't heard of that!

shellydiane820

I had a star wars reception. But I don't like labels

jasmineh7777

I special ordered a Star Wars cake for FI's 21st. His response, "Luke's lightsaber is the wrong color."

shellydiane820

Snap!

impslave

Bobbysprncss

My FI and I play WoW. We also play several board games Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, Risk, and a few others.

pinkmonkee

I play Sims on the computer all the time but right now the FI and I's favorite game is House of the Dead. I think the Zombieland movie brought on the zombie killing need for us!
